    Taking a picture through a scope

    How do I take a picture looking through a scope????
    I've tried and it just won't focus.
    I have a Nikon Coolpix camera.

    Just gotta line things up and find the correct distance. It would be helpful to have a 3rd hand. This was taken with a. iPhone

    Not a scope but with my old android, I managed this with the Garand. I think the key is to find the line up/distance sweet spot and it'll focus in.

    There are devices called digiscope adapters or brackets that allow you to use cameras or cell phones to take photos through a scope of various kinds.

    I tried that the other day with a different kind of scope...all I needed was an extra arm growing out'a my chest!
